[OSM-talk-be] 17/02: Towards Equal Street Names with Open Data

[Jo]

Hi,

I used Overpass API to generate a list of unique street names in the
Brussels Region:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MsII28mSORExmGhxAFPCON4GK3Zpg-BUbvy8eauy63I/edit?usp=sharing

It is easy to find streets that are not mapped entirely bilingually. I
should have included the id and then created an easy way to link back to
JOSM. Not sure why I didn't think of that before. I might still do it, but
then using the associatedStreet relations, which most of the streets in
Brussels still seem to have. (I'm glad for this, I know it's not a popular
one)

I think we should create wikidata items for the streets themselves as well.

About the geocoding. If I look at the street in my JOSM, then create a node
somewhere in the center of it and then add the coordinates of that node to
Wikidata, did I violate any rights? If it does, we could use Urbis data to
source coordinates for the whereabouts of the street. I'm not using any
nodes of the street itself. I do try to link back to openstreetmap (one of
the ways or associatedStreet relation) in the reference url field.

I agree that if we were to add full polylines based on all the nodes of the
street, there would be an issue, but I don't think anyone wants to do that.
